Malvern Hills 18 Miler Guided Trail Run
Join Running Adventures for a spectacular guided trail run across the Malvern Hills and surrounding trails. Starting and finishing in North Maldon, we will head straight up to Worchestershire Hill and onto the Malverns ridge. We will then visit all the summits along the ridge, offering stunning views in every direction, and some challenging but fun trail running.
With over 1300m (4400ft) of elevation, this route will work us hard, but we won't be racing. We will take our time and enjoy these trails at a social pace, stopping to enjoy the views and grab some photos. Once we have run from north to south along the ridge, we will head back on ourselves, using the lesser known trails found on the hillsides and woodlands at the base of the hills to find our way back, offering a totally different perspective of this beautiful countryside.

Pace:
This is not a race, we’ll run as a group and enjoy the experience together. We often hike steeper climbs and regroup regularly, but you should be comfortable maintaining an average pace of around 10 min/mile (6:15 min/km) on trails for prolonged periods of time to enjoy this event. Faster runners should expect an easier, more social pace at times.
Kit:
A full kit list will be provided.
Getting there:
North Malvern has plenty of parking and a train station, further details will be provided.
Info:
We will be in touch with further detailed information and instructions a few days before the run, if you haven't heard from us, please get in contact.
FREE BEER:
Running Adventures have partnered with the wonderful Athletic Brewing Company, one of the most delicious alcohol free beers around. You can expect to receive a lush beer (subject to availability) at the end of the run to either enjoy with your new found running companions.
